Flaming Lips to Play Soft Bulletin on New Year's Eve

The band trots out their 1999 album for hometown show

The Flaming Lips' 1999 psych-rock masterpiece The Soft Bulletin (Pitchfork's #3 album of the 90s) is a huge, gorgeous piece of work-- the sort of thing that can sound transcendent in the right context. So how's this for context: New Years Eve in the band's hometown. On their Twitter, the band just announced that they would perform the album on December 31 in Oklahoma City. Make travel plans accordingly.

As previously reported, the Lips will also play The Soft Bulletin next July 1 at London's Alexandra Palace as part of ATP's Don't Look Back series.
